What our students say

These are testimonials from recent clients, including those who were only with us for a day and those we had the pleasure to have as a student for 6 months. Although each is uniquely written as students come from so many diverse backgrounds, they almost universally convey how much they have come to appreciate their trainers.

Small, personalized classes are one of the core reasons that Bali BISA is so popular with students with varying objectives, just for pure fun, kicking off an exciting career as a spa therapist, expanding their skill portfolio or gaining CIBTAC certification to enhance their career development.

Many say they’ll be back and unsurprisingly many do indeed return for more spa courses with us! They keep up with fellow students, trainers and Bali BISA happenings on our Facebook page. Why not stop by and have a chat with our growing community of fantastic students?

Marine De Crissey1 day Balinese MassageDecember 18, 2018

What a nice experience! What a nice day! I didn’t know nothing, I just wanted to know how to practice massages with my daughter and husband and at the end of training I think about a new job. Thank you Ani. Merci beaucoup.

It is the first time that I am learning massage. Before coming to Bali BISA I had sense of doubt that I will be a massage therapist with enough skills to face the challenges that an experienced masseuse normally faces. BISA has equipped me with the confidence and skills to pick up any challenge. A career change is never easy, but with Penny and her team help nothing seems impossible.

I took Anatomy & Physiology, Swedish, Hot & Cold Stone, Lymphatic, Indian Head Massage, Postnatal, Pregnancy, Baby and Aromatherapy treatment course. Today finally finished my last exam. It took quite long time and I fly to Bali twice for the courses. I feel grateful that I could choose this school. I could learn a lot and know many professional trainers and helpful people at school. I’m sure all my experience here will be a big help on me and my future plan. Thank you all.

Well that’s it for my courses. Being here at BISA has been an eye opener for me as a body worker of 2 years. It taught me to take a slower approach to clients with my own work. This is going to help my future greatly. There is great things in my Lymphatic course I will be doing to help my clients hands down. Penny, you are awesome. Thank you for being my Bali mother and really understand my journey to Bali which was not only to come to BISA and to the tutors. I will be making you giggle more when I come as a model. Get used to seeing me more. Love you.

Thank you my beautiful teacher Rini and Sri. I had such a great time for 5 days to learning creambath. In the beginning I felt start panicking, under pressure and unconfident but Rini and Sri are very kind and patience to teach me for a small detail about hand movement, posture and positions. I really wanted to study this course and learnt a lot of things, I felt confident and relief now. I keep improving myself until I come back to learn new things here next time. Thank you so much for everything and looking forward to seeing you guys again soon.
